Overview of Avamere at Three Fountains

Operated by owner Holly Sutton, Avamere at Three Fountains is a 117-bed SNF in Medford, Oregon. Situated at 835 Crater Lake Avenue, it welcomes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, making it attainable to families with different coverage options. The facility currently operates at 63 percent occupancy, serving residents with an average stay of 49 days, reflecting a blend of short-term rehabilitation and longer-stay nursing care. Operating for 19 years, the home has established itself in the region as a stable option for post-acute and ongoing skilled nursing.

Clinically, Avamere at Three Fountains is built around rehabilitation and respite services with a doctor on staff and 24-hour nursing support. Total nursing care averages 4 hours 28 minutes per resident daily, with registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses on hand. This staffing intensity supports recuperation from surgery or hospitalization and management of ongoing medical needs. Respite care makes the community a pragmatic choice for families needing temporary support while managing care at home. Daily life is supported by a range of amenities and services that transcend clinical care. Occupants enjoy a fitness center, an extensive activities calendar, and beauty salon services. Meals are available restaurant-style or in-room, giving residents flexibility in how they dine. The facility provides transportation for appointments and outings, chaplain services for spiritual support, plus newspaper and mail delivery to rooms. The home’s car-dependent location in Medford has limited nearby walkable options, so visiting family will want to plan for drives to the facility.

State inspections by the Oregon Department of Human Services have tracked recurring themes spanning medication management, infection control, and care planning. Families touring the home can inquire about how Avamere at Three Fountains is addressing these operational areas to stay updated.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	34m per day	▼ 16% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	47m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 27m per day	▲ 3% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 21m per day	■ Avg State avg: 4h 23m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	8m per day	▲ 58% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	22m per day	▼ 16% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 28m per day
